The Healer's Quest

Chapter 1: The Beginning

With so many dangers around, Althea was always kept hidden as not only was she the precious daughter of the great dragon king but she was also the only dragon with the golden blood- ichor blood of god. The dangers were also known as the dragon-slayer community, they were a group of mortals who, for years, have believed that the dragons existed and that they were dangerous. They were the only people who still believed that.

Even though they are small in number, these people have advanced weaponry and they will be able to take down any creature. These people had faith that if they kill a dragon and drink its blood then they will become immortal.

Ageus alongside his wife the dragon of eternal fire Hestia ruled over the entire dragon race. The safety of all dragons depend on their shoulder and because of that they have a lot of enemies. After the attack of the dragon-slayers, Ageus and Hestia became more protective towards Althea and they ensconced her in the furthest and most protected part of the castle. It was heavily guarded, no one except her parents and twin brothers had the right to visit her.

Her brothers, Demitrius and Dennis, were responsible to teach her. They trained her, showing her how to control her energy when she transformed and how to temper down her energy so that no one knows about her real identity. Althea was well-versed with everything theoretically. The only time Althea got into contact with the outside world was when her brothers snuck her out.

Whenever they came to fetch her, they would use the code phrase " Its time to free the golden bird from her golden cage" in a sing-song voice. They used to be free kids who were not bounded by royal duties when they disguised themselves. During that time they were ordinary kids who were enjoying their lives. At times Althea wished that they were a normal loving family instead of being this all-powerful one.

Although she loves being able to help her fellow dragon comrades, she wished her life was different, with no restraints and free. She wished to live a life of freedom where she will not be confined in a cocoon. However, when the opportunity for her to travel alone arose she was dreading it. She was petrified.

 Her parents, mainly her mom was hysterical. She did not want her daughter to go away. She was crying incessantly, so much that she burnt half the kitchen. If it weren't for Ageus then their whole house would have been a pile of ashes. Even when Hestia did not want Althea to go, as a queen she had to think about her clan first and with a heavy-heart she let her go.

Her bags were packed and everything was ready and in order, all that was missing was voyager herself. Althea's heart was beating furiously, so hard that she could hear her blood coursing through her vein. She was excited and apprehensive at the same time.

She was excited because she will finally be able to fly high in the sky freely like all dragons and she was apprehensive because she did not how to manage and was afraid of making a mistake that could her whole family.

She said her goodbyes and transformed into a bird and flew away in a quest to save her race and find her soulmate...
